PrepareOutcome:-Course Design Plan Document (DPD) -DESIGN Prototype

During the preparing phase of the course development, the team (an instructional designer and subject matter expert) creates a draft course design plan (i.e., draft preliminary lesson plan). This is similar to the design phase of the ADDIE.

What is in this draft Course Design Plan (DPD) :In this plan, the following are specified:

Draft Lesson/Module Numbers

Draft Lesson/Module Titles /Course Outline

Draft Lesson/Module Learning Outcomes

Draft Lesson/Module Instructional Strategy

Draft Lesson/Module Evaluation Strategy

Estimated Time Allocation

The DPD is a crucial piece of document that can be provided to any e-learning instructional designer to create the course

Design Plan Document: (DPD)

It is important that the design is approved bearing in mind the learning styles and accessibility concerns within a business

Design Prototype:

The design plan (i.e., preliminary lesson plan) is presented to a technical panel for review and comment – typically, in a project team meeting. A TS4 Training Ltd. instructional designer participates in the review to help ensure the integrity of the course design plan.Subsequent to the review, the course developer incorporates changes that are incorporated into a final design plan (i.e., lesson plan).

A TS4 Training Ltd. team approves the final design plan document (DPD).The approved design plan (i.e., set of lesson plans) serves as a blueprint during the Development Phase of the project.

For self-paced web-based courses, the TS4 Training team creates a prototype course design during the Design Phase. The purpose of the prototype is to demonstrate how the course development team intends to implement the design (e.g., writing style, visual treatment, and level of interactivity) and more importantly the way the client specific branding guidelines are to be incorporated.
